Using words like “traitor” so casually, and now saying that pg is “gone” (https://x.com/PalmerLuckey/status/2094639434436427911)...

From my European perspective, Luckey just comes across as an anti-democratic Trumpist. I don’t understand why pg even engages with people like that.

A country that elected Trump twice in spite of his obvious character flaws.

Also using the term "virtue signal" marks you as an idiot.

The Danish government takes the threat seriously:

The US doesn't have any partners anymore, except for some small countries like Hungary and Israel.

What if those were exactly his goals?

Calling the Nazis socialist is insidious and ahistorical.

The Nazis murdered any socialists they could get their hands on.

> He's connected with liberation theology, which is what the KGB was promoting in Catholic countries to recruit for militant groups. [...] I think the Soviets actually claim to have invented liberation theology, but who knows.

Any reputable sources for these claims? Sounds like American Cold War propaganda.

"The Congress" (2013) probably?

Might cause a global recession, though. And that might be less funny.

> Migraine can even drive full-blown visual hallucinations similar to the ‘reflections of the living light’ painted by Hildegard von Bingen, a twelfth-century abbess who was thought to have experienced a condition that is now called migraine with aura.

I don't think the aura effects are usually considered hallucinations?

I get mild migraines sometimes, with hardly noticeable headache, but with aura. In a way, it's pretty cool. You can directly perceive the abnormal brain activity and how it develops in real time. (I get the classic zigzag lines wandering across the field of vision.)

Y Combinator is mostly ideologically aligned with Musk and the Trump administration. If you don't believe me, look through the tweets of Garry Tan, for example.

Probably "Grok", trained on typical Twitter content.

And many people in tech still refuse to see Musk's true character, using motivated reasoning to convince themselves that he's not like Trump.

Reminds me of the Apple TV show "Constellation".

Really? I never thought of pg as naive.

It may not be much, but it's an improvement that hasn't been seen for this type of cancer in a long time.

But the headline is indeed quite misleading.

No better source yet, I think.

But it is the real account of Bertrand Meyer, creator of the Eiffel language.

If they really build AGI (I doubt it), the AGI might be able to bring Microsoft under its control. This could be bad news for a lot of businesses.

They could have.

But by now they have probably irrecoverably destroyed their relationship to the existing community. Maybe they can build a new community.

It was filmed in Tokyo, but is possibly supposed to depict a futuristic Moscow.

I think his answer is driven by a preference for the status quo and a reluctance to face difficult changes.

ChatGPT, and especially GPT-4, seem to do much more than just play games with words. You can’t overlook the “emergent” phenomena that manifest themselves when using them.

Well, since it's the investment branch of the bank that's publishing, it would be strange if J.P. Morgan weren't writing about it. Additionally, I think it's definitely worth a read, as it provides detailed information in a cautious style.

The thing is: even when people do have good intentions, they tend to develop biases that serve themselves.

If these developments in AI are really as important as this blog entry says, then it needs democratic control.

For me it looks like the "old" reddit design is especially affected by the outage. "new.reddit.com" works fine for me.

This is really embarrasing. If feel so much Fremdschämen when I think of Elon Musk.

It's not there yet, but it's coming.

I think that is basically why Docker was invented.

Most Germans understand English perfectly fine. So, feel free to scam, I guess.
